Install instructions

The game is a single binary file that should work out of the box. Just double click on it, or call it from the command line.

Have fun! And let me know what you think in the comments :))

Cooooool

Deserves to be in an arcade

Thanks! I really appreciate it \o/

I like concept. But this is very simple.

Thank you! I wanted to keep it simple in the style of old ASCII games, and I also wanted to explore the concept of having a complete action game in a single line. If you have ideas to improve the game while keeping it true to its core, let me know \o/

Also, many thanks for your help on the other thread. The new version now detects the terminal size so the bug you reported previously should not happen again!

That's a very clever idea. Nice.

Thanks! I really appreciate it :)))
